The allure of Herointown beckons as Monkey returns to his Shropshire birthplace. The redbrick castle, the market stalls, the curves of the river: all resonate with memories of a drug-filled past. Tired of his waywardness, his mother has made a new life, and so must Monkey. Hidden in the hills on the outskirts of town, he finds a mansion where a yellow greyhound skulks on the steps. This rural squat becomes his home - and, in a makeshift ecstasy factory, his workplace too. While shunning the power struggles of his housemates, he is surprised by his connection with local girl Jenn and begins to plot his tricky escape. In this debut Bennett compellingly evokes the mood of modern England as he combines the beauty of its countryside with the atmosphere of a community in disarray.
